It's not generally a good idea to be "good friends" with the opposite sex anyway. You should be creating good friendships with all your guy buddies instead of girls..

Sorry, this just isn't true. Two of my best friends are girls, and there's no awkwardness or interest either way.

And no, I'm not gay. :sly:

See, good point. And when I said "the things I know", I wasn't just meaning sex. Sheesh. Today, another day, school, class, work, class, friends, class, lunch, swimming. Meh. I gave Kirsten the heart, I wrote my name on it (in our terms, that's actually not creepy.)

And for all you people trying to give me you advice, look, for the last time: I'm not saying anything. Nothing. Zip. Okay? I just want to be good friends for now. That's all.

Blast! You created this thread for the sheer purpose of getting advice on your situation and now you don't want it. What kind of sick twisted freak are you? :sly:

I'm just telling you now that if all you want to be is good friends, don't come here later on asking for advice on how to ask her out.

I don't know right now. I never said I needed help asking her out, I just said, I needed a safe place where I can say things that I wouldn't normally say to the people who surround me.

I'm just telling you now that if all you want to be is good friends, don't come here later on asking for advice on how to ask her out.

That's all I want to be for now. Thanks. If I ever get up the nerve to say something, I probably won't need any help with it. I'll just have to man up and do it.
 
Today was great. As all the days were. :D

That sounds good man. As for me, I'm sick. :sick: Been all sniffly and plugged up, still just an average day, average life, again, meh. I really don't want to swim now that I'm sick, but I don't really have an excuse.
 
Haha, thanks for making me life during this bout of turmoil. I can't stand my family anymore. All of them, crazy mother****ing alcoholics, somebody, please, get me away from this. I can't live like this. I don't even talk to any of them anymore, EVERYTHING you see in this thread, very few people in my family actually know. All they do is argue, and I sit here, listening, watching, thinking. And I'm about near to just break.

All I want to say is, thanks for supporting me, goes to everyone at GTPlanet.

It definitely helps. 👍
It can even battle cancer, though doctors don't say that, gee i wonder why... :trouble:
Um, because doctors rely on scientific studies more than herbal remedies based on old wives tales?
 
Hmmm...
Google "Garlic Studies" and you'll find a lot of intresting stuff.

GT_Prologue5, don't ever give up. No matter what. Around your age is where your life builds up, makes you what you are...and i'm sure you don't want to be a nervous wreak now do you?

Just don't give up, just hold on for a few more years.

Wow, thanks. I'm feeling better today, although it's just that I try to cover up the real problems with my stupid high school ones. I had swim class for today, boy did I do some diving! I love diving, it's such a strange thrill. A regular day of school, hopefully a regular day at home.

Although I've been a nervous wreck for years, it's just who I am.
 
GT_Prologue5 has an interesting life.
The day for me: wake up too early, go back to sleep, wake up again, get dressed, brush teeth, eat, go to school, write, write, eat, write, talk about safe sex, go home, eat, do homework, study, relax, take shower and finally go to sleep.


short version for people that can't be bothered to read all that:
wake up, go to school, go home, do stuff and go to sleep.

Wow, that's a little out of place, your day seemed perfectly normal until that juicy little nugget came along.

Haha really? Back when I went to High School I had a college level Sex Ed class (I already had a few others in the past in Middle School and beginning Sex Ed in Elementary) It was the best educational class I've ever had in my life. I had an awesome teacher and an awesome class. If you ever get the chance to take a sex ed class in High School or College.. Do it.
 
Wow, that's a little out of place, your day seemed perfectly normal until that juicy little nugget came along.

It doesn't seem that out of place, yes my life is very interestring (why do you think I decided to write ALL this?) although in good and bad ways.

And to Prosthetic, I had Sex Ed in 7th grade. A little too early but a good class nonetheless. I'd recommend it to anyone.
 
Well i mentioned supposedly stepped on a girls foot everyday. Well it was a lie.
This girl wants to go out with me, but i'm not intrested. :sly:

What a strange situation that's gotta be.

And for moi, I had a day of sore throat and a lot of iced tea. Did not finish my Francias Family Tree, felt dissapointed. Did very well in Freshman Seminar, learning about Greek/Roman Gods/Godesses.

But I'll tell you what you'll really care about...

I'm feeling strange sense of anger/pride, because I was talking to Kirsten today, and I said how I got on my sister's facebook page, and she was like "I don't approve of that"

Oh, am I through with this
I finally broke free, I finally stopped saying sorry, stopped agreeing with her, and I just said how I felt. And that I shouldn't care what she has to say about it. I might be a jerk, but at least I finally have a pair talking to her.

In 5th grade we had to watch "The Video", which was about the changes our body was about to endure, puberty, you know, all that fun stuff.

Then in 7th grade, I had health, which we probably spent about one week discussing STDs and the like.

And if my memory serves me right, I don't remember any sort of Sex Ed class available at my high school.

Yeah, all that fun stuff. I'm suprised they wouldn't, even if it wasn't that much of a deal around the school.

Although, sex ed is the only class where you can legitimately write "testicles" without getting in trouble. :D

OK, I broke again. I said sorry. But sorry to her because I was making a complete ass of myself. I didn't apologize for going on my sister's Facebook page. It's not like I did anything wrong to it, either.
 
Mkay, I've been lurking this site since 2007, and reading this entire thread is pretty much what compelled me to finally register. Yeah, the GT5 stuff didn't lure me in. Mostly because I've yet to save up for a PS3.

I probably should introduce myself and the reason I actually read this whole thing and registered.

So, I'm a sophomore in high school, and pretty much share exactly the same situation GT_Prologue has with Kristen, and some of his insanity.

So, my status in school. I'm just the kid everyone either loves or hates. The "popular" guys tend to hate me because I'm friends with all the pretty girls (more on that later), and I get along with the "weird" guys that are actually the more trustworthy ones. The ones that would always have your back when you're stuck. And the girls...I really don't think there are any girls that dislike me. I instantly get along with them. Probably because I was raised to respect them (not be a douche and be like "MAKE ME A SAMMICH." and understand them better than even other girls for some reason. Being a good listener always has its...advantages. :sly:

Okay, so I've been friends with this girl for a good while, and she was almost literally the guy version of me in most ways. Needless to say, I was kind of smitten with her. She kind of sent out "signals" (Well...they weren't signals. More "UGH. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. I WANT YOU." like things that I didn't realize were actually that obvious until it was too late. I honestly have no freaking idea why I didn't do anything. She was pretty much perfect for me, and is the reason I'm still alive. So...yeah, I kinda "loved", in an "Okay, you're pretty much the only thing keeping me up when everyone else is oblivious to the insanity going on in my head, so I'd honestly to anything for her. Not a puppy love "Oh I want to be with you forever and we'll get married when we get out of high school thing) I finally told her how I felt (hah, like a half year later), and...I waited too long. The
closer I got to her, the deeper of a hole I'd dug because she started to think of me as a brother. Which is possibly what's gonna go on with you and Kristen. (but possibly not. She never told me to buy a heart. That's pretty...strange.) But Kristin seems like a carbon-copy of my friend otherwise.

And seriously, sex is...nothing. It's not a thing to determine how serious a relationship is. It's either just plain stupid (for example, my friend is a father. He's my age.) or just for plain fun (what most of us think of it as). I'll admit to having a couple of "buddies." It genuinely was nothing, as much as I wanted it to be. Sex actually kinda devoids a relationship. Sure, you get a natural "Woah. We just did it. She's mine." impulse, but to be completely honest, you start to lose a bit of respect for the girl. Of course, you think she's more beautiful, but you also...it's hard to convey into words. Do you really want Kristin to descend to that? Not that I'm assuming you will, but it's bound to happen the way you were posting.

The "dating scene" is usually nothing but lust at our hormonal stages. It's pretty much impossible to find someone you'd truly love to wake up next to with for the rest of your life at this point because it's usually your hormones looking for a girl, and not actually you. Yeah, you may argue, "No. It's different." No it's not different. Yes, you probably would last a good while if you don't do anything stupid, but realize, there will be other girls that will be like her. Not any as "significant", but will impact your life just as much. Trust me, been there, done that. I've managed to find two other "girls who completely understand and trust me and really have changed my life forever" since the first friend. It's just a cycle. I'd be willing to argue though.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with having girls as friends. My friends have been at least 75% girls my whole life and I've turned out fine. I'm the guy friend for most of them. The one they always ask for advice and trust with their life. Which the pretty (yes, I refuse to call a girl hot.) girls really like in a guy.

Anything else?

BTW, the songs stuck in my head during writing this post went from "Pre Ex-Girlfriend"-Five Iron Frenzy, which I just love:
Watch her on the floor tonight,
Feel the crush she will incite,
The spark of hope she will ignite
a beautiful sight!
Softer than the lightest snows,
Watch her as the moment slows
In my face the door will close...
and there she goes.

To "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails. I think you all know how that goes.

I'm missing so much of what I wanted to say haha...

Oh, and obligatory "Freshman..." sigh. :p

Freshman year itself is a total blowoff/transition year. You'll have no trouble getting through it. Just a matter of loving it. And honestly, not too many people love freshman year.

Wow, that really had me there. By the way, you misspelled the name. :p
And truthfully, I wouldn't just, if in a relationship, have sex. I'm not that much of an idiot. Yeah, the heart was weird, but she's a more open type of person. I can be friends with girls, and it normally just stays the course of what it is, no bull or anything else. I don't come onto my friends, I'm afraid of it almost. I don't want to ruin a friendship by asking for a relationship. And you're right, it's not different, but that's just a natural teenager thing we say, just kind of a foolish term. But wow. That is not exactly identical to my story (she doesn't want me), but yeah really had me locked in. Yeah, being nice has it's advantages, but being nice means you're not spontaneous, and people don't expect you to be willing to just up and have fun. It's always been a problem of mine, the fact that I'm overly analytical and think way too much. I've started to feel less attracted to Kirsten though, not for personal reasons, but because I'm coming to terms that I probably won't have her. I still want her, yes, but I can't change anything about that. I've started to feel like I wish I was closer to my friend Helen, I mean she's single, we're good friends, I have some trouble understanding her, but, again, I just can't do it without overthinking the risk. I have noticed that I do like to see both of them wearing swimuits in aquatics though. (unfortunately for me, my glaucoma prevented me from seeing well without glasses across a room, so if they are far away, I see a plain shape, although I can not see defining features that are recognizable.) I also think that I'm just not fun to be around. I play video games, I don't think I'm bad looking, but I wouldn't consider myself good looking (comme ci, comme ca). I don't think women find me attractive, which is my ultimate downfall. I am a car fanatic, and that description doesn't fit with my friends wants. I have to do something bold though, and soon, and I will. Just wait for it, and GTPlanet will hear of it 2nd (my brother is more important than this!)

I know I mispelled it. But that's my little sister's name and thought it was a bit creepy so I misspelled it on purpose.
Oh, oops I meant to add that small detail hah. The fact she liked me at first gives me a bit of an advantage huh?
The afraid-to-make-a-move thing is what I usually go through. Sucks doesn't it? But I realized that if it's eating me inside, I can't look at her without being all googly eyed and creepy and if I don't tell her, she'll find out herself which is typically worse. It makes things awkward.
And I didn't mean to sound like I assumed you'd only have sex. That would be pretty slimy. (No pun intended? I'm sure one of you guys would think that. :sly:)
And don't be too concerned about looks. If a girl was truly worth it, they'd look past any unattractiveness. Confidence is actually hotter to them if they aren't shallow. There's always the cocky weird looking guy with the attractive girl. Not to say you look weird, (you probably look fine and not giving yourself enough credit) but just an example.
Being overly analytical is a pretty common flaw too. I think things over for days (even weeks. Took me about a month to actually find the perfect way to ask a girl out once) and heck, if it's something like this, time kinda helps.
Whatever you do, don't just whip it out in front of her... :dunce:
And with Helen, what don't you understand? Spending more time with her if possible would obviously help, and even if you don't pursue her, getting to know her better has no downside.
One more thing. You don't need a relationship. I thought I desperately needed one, but it took an outright horrible relationship to realize that I'd wasted so much time and effort trying to get a girl when I had so many friends that were always there for me.

Wow Ishcabible, those two posts are a helluva way to become part of the site. 👍

I agree with pretty much everything you've said, and you almost exactly described me when you were describing you. :p

:dopey: Thanks!

Hehe, this kinda helped me a bit. Knowing that there are people just as insane as me is always nice. :)

And as an aside, I have no idea what I never signed up. There are a few threads I followed religiously, but never had anything to contribute, so yeah.

Anyways, never let a girl eat you up inside and prevent you from doing what you want. If it feels natural, just do it. Whether she likes it or not is nothing to fuss about. If she hates you because of it, she really isn't worth it and is just there for you with exclusions. If she was really cool, she would either admit that she's smitten with you but didn't know how you felt (tbh, incredibly unlikely) or will politely let you down and act as if nothing happened. (Seriously, it might hurt, but it's better to have her and for it to kinda sting to look at her than to lose her forever if she really means that much to you. Which (the former) was my case.)

And of course, I'd hate for this to have significance in your life:
"And I can't can't wait
Til you see see see
What death and disgust have done to me

And I spent three years
Wishing for two things
That one day you'd break and I'd get see
How all the choices you made could drive you insane"

Which kinda is what I eerily hope for a certain girl...yeah never start a relationship with someone you barely know. You'll probably get burned.
 
Ha, what a way to join GTP! When I say I don't understand Helen, I mean that because she's Chinese and has an accent. Although I've started to acquire the Francais accent. And I do look past the outside, most people would just say that Kirsten or Helen are cute, but I find each of them beautiful. Good work on the "slimy" thing, if you hadn't of had parentheses I'd be giving you one of these! :odd:

I don't so much let it eat me up, in fact, it's in reverse. I eat it up. I almost sit there, and I purposefully tell myself to think of it, I don't know. And it's not that I want a relationship, it's just I want my friends to truthfully know how I feel for them, what I truly think.

Well, Talon, if he is like me, and you're like him, then we are 3 similiar people! I have to go to Halloween Express (I'm almost being dragged there) to see Kirsten put on slightly revealing costumes. I ****ing win!

And isn't it great knowing there are other maniacs out there? It really helps! :lol:
 
Well today was awesome as usual. I'm improving my social abilites (fighting my extremely mild autism), and that's about it.
Overall i think this year will be great, regardless of what happens.

You have autism or are you just messing with me? And what's with the indigo text? Did Famine hack your account?
